76. Jjokbak and Poison Bak (5)
The fire of heavy pressure was spreading more ferociously than ever.
‘I feel dirty.’
The fact that the living golems engulfed in flames were civilians not too long ago and the fact that the Myungwang brothers were scorned.
They had been making Jin uncomfortable ever since.
“Do you think you don’t know your ulterior motive to buy time by using them as a shield? Aren’t you ashamed of being a great wizard? Come out. article! The desire to capture them is quickly disappearing.”
“Stop stop! I will follow you, so please stop!”
Choukon and Susan’s eyes widened as Joe raised his wand in both hands to signal surrender.
As for them, they were desperately trying to block Murakan’s attack, but the leader, Joe, suddenly declared surrender.
Even Joe was the first to provoke Murakan, saying, ‘It is indeed a dragon in the shadows’. He was changing his attitude like flipping his palm, so he could hardly believe his ears.
“Chief, what the hell is this…? Are you going to surrender?”
At Susan’s question, Jo rather scolded her.
“under! Can’t you see this stuffy person Black Dragon’s inaction!? An opponent we can’t afford. At this rate, annihilation is only a matter of time. Surrender is the answer!”
“but.”
“But what! Sirs, hurry up and express your intention to surrender. Before the author changes his mind!”
If you put your dignity and pride aside and only look at the situation.
Joe wasn’t wrong. Chukon and Susan also felt keenly that there was no answer against those monsters.
After all three of them reached the superhuman level of 9 stars, it was a feeling they hadn’t experienced in a long time.
“Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Cho! What happened to your hair? surrender? Is that really what the chieftain would say? Do you think that demon will spare us if we surrender? What an idiot!”
Chukon turned his head and shouted.
“Lord Chukon, what did you just say?”
“What we can’t handle is the black dragon, not that clot of blood. If we catch him and use him as a hostage, we can make the black dragon retreat. There is no guardian dragon that lets the contractor die!”
Chukon was the only one of them to have ever met Jin.
So when Jin first appeared, only Chukon felt a strange sense of crisis. Leaving aside the fact that his skills are huge compared to his age, he had an ominous intuition that the situation would go according to Jin’s will as he was pushed back in the ‘number fight’ just like that time.
When I met Bella on an abandoned island in the emirate, I thought he was just a magic swordsman. I had never dreamed that Jin had anything to do with solderlets or black dragons.
7 or higher magic, 8 or higher swordsmanship, and, following the terrible brain power, even a spirit.
Even a 9-star wizard is bound to be an opponent you don’t want to fight.
‘If Sir Cho surrenders now, there is no future. We must catch him and make a deal with the Black Dragon…!’
As soon as Chukon realized that Jin was a contractor, he kept thinking about it. If they hold on to that fraudulent lump of blood, this fight is their victory.
“Kyung Cho, so don’t give up and catch him!”
“Sir Chukon is right Sir Cho. Even though he’s great, he’s an immature monster. If we join forces, wouldn’t it be possible to overwhelm the landscape alone?”
When Susan joined in, Joe was speechless for a moment in shame.
Because what they said was absolutely right.
‘What kind of disgrace is this? I couldn’t come up with a simple way to overcome this situation and just thought of relying on the captain!’
It wasn’t because Joe was dumb.
‘As Chukon said, he’s a dangerous guy. It’s just that my body was frightened for no reason, under the weight of that kid’s momentum.’
It’s just a shameful happening that happened after being a little more faithful to instinctive fear than Chukon or Susan.
“I lost my temper for a moment. Yes, even if the black dragon is flying and crawling, there will be no help if you catch the contractor.”
“We will keep the black dragon as close as possible. I won’t be able to last long, so hurry and get me.”
Aaaah-! Whoa!
The screams of living golems and beast-man mages covered the entire battlefield.
Because of the noise, Jin and Murakan couldn’t hear the voices of the nine-star wizards.
However, Jin could see that something had been exchanged between them, and as a result, Joe’s attitude, which had just shown a willingness to surrender, had changed again.
Joe’s wand was tinged with magic.
Although he was hidden by his unique mean, cruel, and mildly eccentric personality, he was a great wizard who had long been talked about as Andrei Ziple’s nemesis.
“Get out of the way! You useless junk!”
The remaining living golems began to scatter from side to side at Joe’s command.
As soon as the road opened, Tess let out a breath at Joe. And Joe was spreading magic befitting his title of ‘cold’.
Kiriririk-!
The ground beneath the trajectory of Tess’ rushing breath ruptured, and pillars of ice rose. Unlike normal ice barrier magic, the ice glowed an ominous purple.
Jjaeok-!
It looked like a pillar, but it was a spout made of ice.
The snout of another golem he made himself. The gaping muzzle bit through Tess’ long stretched breath, and soon the ground cracked once more, revealing the true nature of the golem.
[Geo-eo-!]
Slightly smaller than Murakan. If there was an elephant with ten tusks and made of purple ice, it would look like this.
What looked like ivory was the snout that bit off Tess’ breath. He let out an unpleasant low-pitched scream after cutting his breath into pieces like a beast cutting off a snake.
“her.”
It was hard to hide my absurd feeling when a golem suddenly rose from the ground. Even Jin appeared while chewing on Tess’ flame, so even Jin had no choice but to hesitate for a moment.
‘What is that? That something outrageous was in the ground?’
Not only Jin, but even Murakan looked surprised.
“Catch the flames of Poluc Tess and protect me!”
Unlike the unfinished biological golem ‘Master’, which he recently began to produce by borrowing the wisdom and memory of the leader, this golem called Poluk was a finished product.
An ice golem that is resistant to fire.
To make Pollock, he found an ancient glacier to find a white elephant, kidnapped young demons, and used five phoenix hearts and wings.
It took almost 20 years from the time when I once had a vain dream of surpassing Andrei and defeating Kellyac to completion.
In other words, Archmage Cold Joe’s masterwork and masterpiece. The reason why Choo is considered to be one step higher than Chukon and Susan, even though they have the same 9-star rating.
As soon as Pollock appeared, the blue flames that spread across the battlefield were fading.
At the same time, Joe devised and chanted a special magic that he named ‘cold limit’. Purple ice shards spread out from his staff and surrounded Jin in an instant.
Hundreds of archers seemed to be aiming at the whole body.
‘It’s not like he was Andrei Zipple’s nemesis for nothing.’
Jin calmly took a stand and prepared to break the ice.
Then he looked in the direction of Chukon and Susan so Joe wouldn’t notice.
If Tess’ flame didn’t work, it would have been too much of an adventure to deal with such a monster alone.
In addition, Joe has been using the living golem as a shield and has kept most of his magic, while Jin has been under much greater physical strain due to the fighting spirit and Tess summoning.
‘It’s not like they gave it that name for nothing. One defensive ability is shocking.’
As one of the nine-star wizards had a reputation for being a master of defense, even Murakan, who regained his 40% power, couldn’t easily break through the shield.
It was also because Murakan couldn’t recklessly attack Jin’s side with all his might.
‘I’m going to buy myself until Murakan cleans them up. I don’t even know how Joe’s exclusive magic works.’
That moment when I decided that I had to fight a little smarter now.
[Tsk, even if you’re crazy, you’re still crazy. You must have done this because you don’t know what, but this worm.]
Murakan shook his head with his eyes wide open. Everyone on the battlefield was clearly listening to that majestic voice unique to dragons.
[Take out the golem made by mutilating the Phoenix’s body in front of the owner of the flame world? You tried to restore the Myungwang clan, and you guys have a knack for causing disaster…]
Shuwook!
Murakan stopped attacking and descended towards Jin. Then, he transformed into a human and spread a protective shield with his aura, covering Jin and himself.
‘The top of that barn turned. It’s an atmosphere that shouldn’t be rushed. From now on, that man will ignore the contract with you for a while and forcefully use all your power. No matter how much I love you, this is unbearable.’
husky voice.
“uh?”
dump.
Jin stumbled and knelt down on one knee. As soon as Murakan’s explanation was over, the strength was draining from his body.
‘Since I care so much about you, I won’t use up my lifespan… but I won’t use my lifespan, right? I won’t use it. Damn, I’ll explain in detail later.’
My eyes closed. A huge drowsiness that could not be shaken off engulfed Jin’s whole body.
Murakan touched my forehead in annoyance.
The next moment Tess started to roar and the battlefield turned into a blue hell.
Gaaaaagh-!
Blue flowers were spreading at exactly the same speed as the roar spreading.
It took less than 30 seconds for the remaining hundreds of living golems to completely turn to ashes and disappear, and beastmen and lower-middle-level wizards met the same end.
All members of the Dark Magic Society died, leaving three 9-star wizards.
“What the hell is this?”
Joe, who had narrowly escaped the flames, ran to Chukon’s shield and looked back.
Poluk saw his masterpiece being consumed by Tess’ flames.
It wasn’t just catching fire or being engulfed in flames, it was literally being ‘swallowed’. Like the very first time Pollock chewed Tess’s breath and swallowed it.
Joe, Chukon, and Susan all had to backtrack in fright.
They knew that Tess was one of the greatest phoenixes, but this was a phenomenon they could not explain with their knowledge.
Murakan, on the other hand, wiped his heart as he watched it.
‘You managed to kill my temper. I wondered what it would be like to drag the little guy’s lifespan and completely annihilate this area. You’re quite rational, aren’t you?’
Pollock disappeared without a trace. Not even a single footprint was left, but it was just bluish ash and then scattered somewhere.
Naturally, Tess was aiming at the 9-star wizards as if she couldn’t be satisfied with that alone, and Murakan was worried that Tess might cause an accident because she couldn’t control her anger.
“Wouldn’t it be better if I just went back? Look here, little guy passed out. This is a big deal. A big deal. He’ll make me suffer properly, so take a deep breath and… Um? Wait a minute, what is that again…?”
The place Murakan pointed with his finger was the collapsed outer wall.
A figure resembling a ghostly, whitish human was on the remains of the outer wall.
“Check that one before you go, you know what? Why do you feel uncomfortable? don’t know? Are you going? Are you taking good care of the kid? ah yes yes well thought out Trust me and go in.”
